my answers

When did you first get excited about photography?

First time I saw a LaChapelle photo.

What advice would you give young photographers?

Shoot less. Think more.

On a side note, they might not have been lying when they said the overall Internet will get slower. Seems to be happening. And I have the fastest connect/settings to load websites in this country.

The kids are alright

"Mr Tapscott identifies eight norms that define Net Geners, which he believes everyone should take on board to avoid being swept away by the sort of generational tsunami that helped Barack Obama beat John McCain. Net Geners value freedom and choice in everything they do. They love to customise and personalise. They scrutinise everything. They demand integrity and openness, including when deciding what to buy and where to work. They want entertainment and play in their work and education, as well as their social life. They love to collaborate. They expect everything to happen fast. And they expect constant innovation."

every single one is true. speed being the most important. i want something faster than instant. ie wiki knowledge.

one thing i will say is it's a shame so many writers/journalists are losing jobs. good writing is extremely hard to do. the process is far from instant and should be paid well as such.

cw update

stylista - this show is major win. much much better than i thought it would be. watching whole season for sure.

top model - not for me. i will tune in to a finale here and there when someone tells me to.

privileged - fail. on the fall preview they made it seem like they were mixing superficial with trying to have a meaning. those opposites make no sense. didn't even bother checking it out until last week. didn't make it through the first episode. might have something to do with very few guys in it. gg and 90210 have the dudes to go with the pretty girls. maybe some traveling pant watchers would like it or something i dunno.

Having done well with a remake of ”Beverly Hills 90210” this season, the CW network is considering a remake of that show’s spinoff, ”Melrose Place.”

hmm. could work i guess. i'll tell you what else could work. models inc. on dvd!!!

The television shows “Valentine” and “Easy Money,” which made their debuts on CW on Oct. 5, have been put on hiatus for six weeks, today’s New York Times notes.

i got a glimpse of valentine and it actually looked pretty good. it's on the list to catch up. checking out easy money right now.

(add celebrity rehab with Dr.Drew and pickup artist to the general tv update list non cw related.)
